My point is "What is the definition of 'work fine' here?"  The syncing
that you used to do would continue being done, but that may not be what
the what the user wanted or intended.  Whatever the scheme is, you have
to be able to describe it clearly and unambiguously to the user so the
user is never surprised.

In the case of "recording the hostname", you have to say "the name of
the archive is bound to the hostname which was recorded the first time
you ran Unison in your account", as compared to the current system "the
name of the archive is bound to what 'hostname' returns".

So the particular words you use to describe what you're doing can make
things easier or harder for the bulk of the users (who are going to be
pretty naive).
